Electronic Waste Warning
If it plugs in, charges up, or takes batteries, it can't be disposed of in your trash because it could harm you or the environment. Find out about electronics regulations. This section shows you how to recycle old electronic devices and related items like cables, DVDs and more.
For die-hards, there's nothing that plays music like vinyl records. Some music stores still purchase old records, so if you're looking to reuse them, check out our CD and DVD reuse page.
The locations below will actually recycle the vinyl plastic that the records are made from.
